Police investigate suspicious incident at Glen Burnie school

Unidentified man confronted inside Monsignor Slade Catholic School

Anne Arundel County police are investigating an incident at a Glen Burnie school.

Monsignor Slade Catholic School officials said a teacher noticed an unidentified man inside the building around 1:20 p.m. Wednesday.

The teacher did not recognize the individual and noticed the person was not wearing a visitor’s badge and when she addressed the man he told her he was looking for an exit, officials said.

Officials said the police were notified.

Police said they performed a full sweep of the school and while they found no one, they did find that a staff member had some contents from her purse stolen. Police remained at the school through afternoon dismissal.

School officials notified parents of the incident via email and phone alerts.

"Please be assured that we are carefully reviewing and reinforcing the procedures for securing all entrances to the building. We are committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for your children at all times."
